:{{re|Rhododendrites}} When I drafted that principle my intention was actually to say that groups are encouraged to ''allow anyone to join''{{snd}}indeed I used your group and affiliates like it as an example, as you allow any Wikimedian in good standing to join. I recognize that could be ambiguous though.

:I agree with Kevin. We are looking at community norms for transparency here, so not giving away personal information or opening individuals up to harassment, both of which are covered as exceptions by our norms.

:What we are looking at is exclusionary policies which create biases. Now, there are some natural ones, such as geographical, or by interest - but if, say, I wanted to join your group, despite only not going to NYC in three decades, would you say no? Would you even ask my ___location on sign up? That's what we are getting at.
